Re: [fetchmail]SOCKET error with POP3, IMAP works

Getting the exact same errors here with fetchmail release 5.8.14+SSL+SOCKS,
on NetBSD1.4.3 with ipfilter/NAT.  All I've found about it is: "just treat
this as an 'unrecoverable error'."  Does that mean we can't use fetchmail?

If you find the answer, please let me know.  TIA.

I get these when there are problems communicating to the remote POP server. They usually go away when the route/server comes back.

Have you checked you can telnet to the POP server's POP3 port? Have you tried updating fetchmail and running it with a few "-v"'s for good verbose information?
